A greek person.
christian
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/christian
the name given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to the followers
of Jesus. It was first used at Antioch. The names by which the disciples were
known among themselves were "brethren," "the faithful," "elect," "saints,"
"believers." But as distinguishing them from the multitude without, the name
"Christian" came into use, and was universally accepted. This name occurs but
three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Pet. 4:16).
The true believers are the called out ones of Yahweh, and are followers of Yahshua the Messiah. A true believer would never be called by a greek name.
I TIMOTHY 3:15
But if I am delayed, I write so that you may know the right and proper way to conduct yourself in THE HOUSE OF YAHWEH, who are the called out ones of the living Father, the pillar and ground of the truth.
...they used to speak long ago, saying: to receive an answer, ask at The House of Yahweh at Abilene; and that would settle a matter. - II Samuyl 20:18.
Eccl 1:9 That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Well, a christian is a person that follow the path set by Jesus Christ. Here is a link to the simple rules they must follow. If they don't follow these rules, they are not a Christian, but God bless them for trying.
Now, understand that this link goes to a Simple translation.
" Do not lie " is actually " Do not bear false witness'
What's the difference? it's pretty big, let me explain.
Let's say you're at your Grandmother's house and she's usually an excellent cook. But today, her pie wasn't so good and she asks "Did you like it?"
Under " Do not lie " you would have to break the poor ladies heart and say "no"
Under " Do not bear false witness " you could say ' yes' She was asking your opinion, not for a fact.
Bearing false witness is like saying you saw somebody kill some one, when you really didn't. I hope this helps.

There is a verse going he who was saved from the fire or something.. I was attacked by the world and since became a true believer, because He saved me. Fighting the world with growing wisdom and opening the heart more and more and almost ready to conquer the world and all fear. I have been wiping my feet for years now and soon I will be all clean and I will open the door of His room (my heart) and all darkness will go.. Love

the bible says only a few.
Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
John 14:6 . . .I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Narrow is the way . . . Jesus is the way!!
Few there be that find it.

The true Christians all died or disappeared when Jerusalem was destroyed in 135 CE.
The Paulists who began preaching were not Christians, so their followers cannot be considered "true Christians."
There are no surviving "true Christians" or followers of Jesus of Nazareth.

The closest would be Billy Graham, but I'm sure there are many others. Ive been around a few and it's amazing. They'll help anybody and aren't judgmental at all. They'll tell you about the lord, but aren't overwhelming in doing so. They really live by example.

As I understand it, a true Christian is a person who realizes he or she is a sinner; knows that he or she cannot save him- or herself; accepts Jesus Christ as his or her savior; via baptism has the Holy Spirit enter his or her heart; submits to the transformation of his or her life in and through God's grace; and carries the message of salvation through Christ to other people.
